On the verge of getting After Effects. I am going to d/load the trial but i wanted to ask this first. Have been looking at various tutorials on the CreativeCow site for some things that i want to use After FX for.

There a lots of effects that have the CC preifix and also a particle generator that has a Z on its preview screen, are these included in After FX or are they extras that i will need to buy. Going to be on a pretty tight budget so i dont want to find out after shelling out that i need to pay out even more for these.

"Adobe provides many third-party effect plug-ins with After Effects. Keylight, Color Finesse, and Cycore FX plug-ins are installed by default with the After Effects application. The installers for some plug-ins install their documentation in the same directory as the plug-ins themselves. Documentation for Cycore FX plug-ins is available on the Cycore website: www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_cycorefxdocumentation."
